Sail Date: Jan 2017
Cabin: Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony
Traveled with children

My entire family became ill and returned to the states with sinus and chest colds-Yes we all "Washy-Washy" prior to each meal. There were not enough activities to offset the numerous days at sea. They had the audacity to have an outdoor cookout in 40 degree weather with extremely high winds and rough sea conditions-REALLY!! The food was ice cold before we could return to our table and begin eating!

The seafood night feast was laughable; tiny oysters, imitation crab meat, and cold shrimp that was not deveined!!

Note to NCL: If the crew are in need of jackets, hats, gloves, and scarfs, then it's TOO COLD FOR A COOKOUT!! UNBELIEVABLE LACK OF CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT FOR THE PASSENGERS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!

Cabin Review

Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony

TV much too small, not enough channels and poor reception! Not enough outlets or USB ports to charge devices!

Great beach experience-Not adequate restroom facilities
